WWE’s Money in the Bank event is set for October 10, 2026, at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans and is shaping up to be a landmark occasion with major championship matches and anticipated returns. The event will feature contests for the World Heavyweight and Women’s World Championships, alongside the signature Money in the Bank ladder matches that guarantee future title opportunities. Beyond the in-ring action, the show is poised to unveil several surprise comebacks from high-profile WWE stars who have been absent for varying periods.

Among the most anticipated returns is Seth Rollins, who has been away nearly two months since his last appearance at SummerSlam where he challenged Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship. Money in the Bank presents a natural stage for Rollins to re-enter storylines, especially due to his past rivalries with Roman Reigns and LA Knight, who face off at the event. Fans are also eagerly awaiting the return of Solo Sikoa, recently abducted by the heel faction 946 on Raw, and who is expected to play a critical role in the ongoing Bloodline versus 946 storyline.

Drew McIntyre is training for an in-ring comeback following an extended absence since WrestleMania 42 in April 2026. The former WWE Champion has teased his readiness to return, and his involvement would bolster the Raw roster, potentially placing him back into high-stakes rivalries with Reigns and other top stars in The Bloodline faction. While McIntyre’s reappearance may not align exactly with Money in the Bank, it is expected soon given the current roster dynamics.

Former Women’s World Champion Naomi, sidelined since August 2025 due to her pregnancy, is also expected to make a long-awaited return in the near future. Naomi could become a pivotal figure in Raw’s top storyline, particularly as the 946 stable recently recruited Jaida Parker, signaling a brewing feud with The Bloodline. Given Naomi’s real-life connection to Jimmy Uso, her reintroduction might serve as the perfect capstone to the ongoing heated rivalry, potentially at the Money in the Bank event or shortly thereafter.
